You're gonna hate me PC but I struggle with most music made before 64. I even find the Please Please Me album an almost impossible listen. The only exception is Spector and the girl bands.
Like Paul, not to denegrate the rock and rollers importance or legacy. I just can't relate to it.

I'm coming around to think that music pre '64 is better than anything since '64. Give me Ain't That A Shame over almost anything, the girl bands also like The Shirelles are maybe up with the best groups, better than most of the last 40 years and anything from the last 20 years. Real music transcends any passage of time.

Lovely thought!

I think I've heard of the Stray Cats. I'm rediscovering our musical past also, by way of this board and everyone's recommendations. It's very educational. :)



It's such great fun!

Thank heavens we cleared that up! I was picturing Alexis with breasts, and it was disturbing me...

Very cool, glad you got to have that experience. No offense to anyone, but the Hall of Fame is the only reason I'd go to Ohio. I got to go to the John Lennon Museum in Saitama, Japan. It was so great I wanted to move in! Saw John's Sgt. Pepper jacket, his passports, and Daily Howl papers were there. Plus a lot of stuff that I

The Rock Hall's a great place.  I saw David Crosby's first liver.
Sun Studios is also a trip; Elvis' microphone and such.  There was a young band recording there the day I went in.  I thought, how great to keep it vibrant like that.  And those lucky guys ... ;-)
I'd love to go back when there's a Beatles special display, it was U2 and Floyd's "The Wall" when I was there.  Sounds like it would be interesting, but it wasn't, really.
I'd also recommend the British Museum for some handwritten lyrics.  In that setting, it gives you a sense of their importance.  As I recall, it's not far from the Rosetta Stone.  
I haven't been to Liddypol since ... '88?  I'd love to see Beatles Story.  I think I saw it's precursor.  Just walking on Penny Lane and talking to a young girl living at Strawberry Fields made my whole trip there.  And the Jac ...

??? The last time I saw these lyrics (March) they were in the British Library (moved there some years ago) in Euston.  It's Hunter Davies' collection. It's much nearer Winnie The Pooh than the Rosetta Stone by some miles.

*pays to see Alexis' breasts and David Crosby's liver* Sounds like a biology exhibit!

Nice report, Walrus_21! Cheers.

It's been 12-13 years since I was in Russell Square.  I *think* that's where I saw the lyrics to "In My Life."  

But I also thought that I saw A.A. Milne's stuff in Cambridge.  So ... long ago ... was it in a dream?
